2 1. INTRODUCTION: Citis around th world ar grappling with th many consquncs of rising motorization and traffic congstion. In particular, th whol urban transportation systms in dvloping citis ar ching rapidly du to conomic dvlopmnt. Th ngativ xtrnalitis such as lost tim and productivity, vhicular accidnts, grnhous gas missions and associatd halth hazards has bn causd much mor prompt and srious than th adjustmnts of rsidnts bhavior and attitud. To curb prsonal motor vhicl activity and its impacts on Environmnt it is vry important that public transit srvic is maintaind and nhancd in dvloping citis. Many transportation masurs xist that could lad to significant improvmnts in commutrs xposur by rducing both in-vhicl air pollution and commuting tims. Among ths masurs, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systms ar bing implmntd in citis around th world as an fficint, sustainabl, and low-cost altrnativ to undrground or lvatd public transit systm. BRT systms provid a mor rapid, mtro-lik srvic to commutrs by including such faturs as sparatd bus ways, high capacity vhicls, and fixd stations and off bus far collction. Such improvmnts to city s bus systms can potntially lad to significant nvironmntal bnfits by rducing th numbr of vhicls on th road, controlling th numbr of high-polluting starts and stops and rplacing old buss with nw gnration public transport vhicls with improvd tchnologis (Hnry t al 2008). This papr xplors th factors that contribut to improv th public transportation systm basd on an analysis of th oprational prformanc of BRT in Surabaya City which is not yt xisting but likly to b implmntd in nar futur. 2. STUDY AREA AND PROPOSED BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM: Surabaya City has bn slctd as study ara (figur 1). Surabaya, th capital of ast Java provinc is th scond largst city in Indonsia. Surabaya is a tropical city and locatd at coastal and lowland ara. Th altitud varis from 3 to 10 m abov sa lvl. Population of Surabaya (In 2008) was approximatly 3 million in squar km of ara having a population dnsity of 8394 pr sqkm. Th city is dividd into 31 Districts and 163 sub districts (Anwar t al, 2010). Tabl 1 Yar wis numbr of vhicls in Surabaya City Typs of vhicls 2005 (unit) 2006 (unit) 2007 (unit) Motorcycl Privat Car Pickup Public Bus Angkot Sourc: Transportation Dpartmnt of Surabaya, 2009 Whil currnt urban bus transit taks an important rol to mt rapidly growing mass mobility nds, and curbing prsonal motor vhicl activity and its impacts at low cost, th stat of Surabaya s urban bus transport systms unfortunatly lavs much to b dsird, in trms of outcoms for usrs. Th city s transport sctor has bn advrsly affctd by th rapid urbanization and th conomic dvlopmnt of th country. 2

3 Fig. 1 Study Ara and proposd BRT Ntwork Surabaya city has rlid prdominantly on motorcycl and privat vhicls for yars. On th othr hand public bus transit srvic is inadquat and dcrasing day by day (Tabl 1). This rapid growth of motor vhicl activity in Surabaya city has brought in its wak a r of advrs impacts. Traffic congstion is incrasing rapidly, causing significant tim and productivity losss. Air quality has bn poor in ths cntrs sinc th lat 1990s. Survys hav shown daily avrag suspndd particulat lvls, which ar strongly corrlatd with rspiratory and diovascular disass, xcding World Halth Organization (WHO) guidlin limits almost daily in Surabaya. Morovr, Surabaya s road accidnt rcord, alrady a concrn, is dtriorating stadily, with th avrag dath toll of two prsons pr day. (Polic Dpartmnt, Surabaya). In Surabaya, from 2009 it has bn dcidd by th city authority to clbrat fr day on Sunday 3 and th tim duration of clbration is from 6 AM to 10 AM. On important strt (Raya Darmo Strt) has bn dsignatd for fr day program and during this particular tim no or motorcycl is allowd to mov through this strt. Evn, othr motorizd vhicls lik city bus, kot (public transport) tc ar not allowd to go through this road. Bsid road block for motorizd vhicls, th clbration also consists of som othr componnts lik local ambint air quality monitoring and air quality improvmnt campaign tc. Us of plastic bags in Surabaya has bn normous which caus thousands of marin animal daths vry yar and manufactur of plastic bags adds tons of bon missions into th air annually. To mak mor and mor popl around th city bcoming awar of th nvironmntal issus surrounding plastic bags, Surabaya City authority also launch No plastic bag campaign on rgular

4 basis.bautiful bags mad from cloths and paprs ar distributd or sold to th popl on various occasions (also in fr day) by diffrnt non-govrnmnt organizations (NGO) who dscribs th advrs ffct of using plastic bags and ncourags popl to avoid it. Thr had bn svral such fforts for nvironmntal managmnt in Surabaya City lik th soft policis statd abov and th rcnt ffort is rduction of mission from vhicular mission. A particularly important masur that combats many of th impacts of traffic is th provision of rapid and fficint public transport ntworks as an altrnativ to privat s. BRT systms hav bn idntifid as an inxpnsiv, fficint and incrasingly popular public transportation option. Considring this fact, Surabaya City Govrnmnt has dcidd to implmnt BRT in Surabaya in svral phass. Surabaya Transportation Dpartmnt xpct th total capacity of BRT to ry 3868 prson/hour/way in th pak priod and 1627 prson/hour/way in th off-pak priod rspctivly. Th capacity is 85 prsons pr bus. In th first phas th BRT lin will b implmntd in th North South Dirction and will gradually xtnd th rout in Wst-East dirction in th scond phas as can b sn in fig 1. In ordr to maintain a good lvl of srvic 54 bus unit is plannd to oprat in a dpartur lngth of 19.8 km and rturn lngth of 20.9 km. Estimatd travl tim will b 39.6 minuts and 41.2 minuts for dpartur and rturn. Hadway in th pak priod is 1.31 minut and 3.14 minut in th off-pak priod. Far for BRT has bn dcidd to kp fixd for travlling any distanc and it will b in btwn Rp 2500 and Rp BACKGROUND: As th popl in Surabaya City hav not xprincd th proposd BRT, it is impossibl to us only obsrvd/rcordd diary data about actual travl bhavior to rprsnt popl s futur prfrncs. It is ncssary to xamin th fasibility of SP approach. On th othr hand, this papr focuss on analyzing th influnc of th individual-spcific contxt coming from chs in availability of diffrnt transport mod on mod choic bhavior, whil also incorporating th influnc of th altrnativ-spcific contxt coming from chs in lvl-of-srvic variabls. Yt, it should b kpt in mind that thr might b som bhavioral diffrncs whil conducting hom basd trips and non-hom basd trips. Hr, th hom basd trips ar dalt with, and non-hom basd trip is lft as a futur rsarch issu. This study invstigats complx travl bhavior aftr th introduction of BRT systm. Bsids, th systm is not familiar to th public; socio-conomic conditions will dramatically grow in futur and th xisting various kinds of paratransit should b usd altrnativly as accss mod in Surabaya. Morovr, th local govrnmnt trusts th chs in th public attitud as an ffct of th abov-mntiond soft policis (i.. fr day and no plastic campaigns). To argu such a dramatic ch in th socity, a statd prfrnc survy has bn applid in this study. Th SP approach, originating in th mathmatical psychology, has bn widly usd in transportation bcaus it can masur how popl choos not-yt-xisting travl mods or how popl tak actions in cas of introducing nw policis (.g., road pricing, introduction of nw/intllignt

5 transport systms). This approach xamins th individual rspons to a sris of xprimntally dsignd choic altrnativs, which ar typically dscribd in trms of combinations of attributs with svral prdfind lvls. In addition to th ability to dirctly masur th dmand/rspons undr not-yt-xisting conditions, th SP approach has othr advantags ovr th RP approach, which is basd on th obsrvd choic in ral situations. Ths advantags includ th ability to control statistical problms such as multicollinarity and lack of varianc in xplanatory variabls, th incrasd possibility of including subjctiv or qualitativ factors as xplanatory variabls and cost-fficincy to dvlop modls from a rlativly small siz of sampls. In rcnt yars, thr ar som limitd applications of th rlatd SP applications in dvloping countris. Fillion t al. (2007) dvlopd ordinal and nstd logit modls in th contxt of transport mod choic modls in Mtro Manilla basd on a qustionnair survy to dtrmin what typ and charactristics of mods ar usd by th individual and what mods wr considrd in his/hr rducd choic st. Thin t al. (2010) mad an ffort to captur travlrs statd mod choic prfrncs undr th influnc of incom lvls in Yon city, Myanmar. Bhattacharj t al. (1997) dvlopd a modl basd on statd prfrnc survy to assss commutrs attituds towards travl dmand managmnt in Bkok. Ortuzart al. (2000) studid on dmand stimation for a cycl-way ntwork in Chil. Dissanayak and Morikawa (2010) did transport policy analysis for dvloping countris using a nstd logit modl of vhicl usag, mod choic and trip chain cas study in Bkok mtropolitan rgion. Sjafruddin t al. 5 (2010) conductd dmand rat and lasticity of th urban taxi srvic basd on th statd prfrnc data cas study in Bandung, Indonsia. Furthrmor, Park t al. (2003) mad a fasibility study on th nw transit systm implmntation to th congstd ara in Soul. It is obvious that th SP applications ar gtting popular in many dvloping citis. In many prvious studis in dvloping countris, it has bn assumd that all th altrnativs (including both accss/grss and lin haul mods) ar availabl to all individuals. On contrary, this papr assums that not all th mods ar ncssary availabl to all th commutrs which hav bn rflctd in SP dsign. For Exampl, in Surabaya bcak is not allowabl to oprat on som crtain roads rsults in its non-availability as an accss mod to diffrnt usrs. Th city also xprincd Car Fr Day (Anwar t al, 2010) whr nithr nor motorcycl is allowd to oprat in som major routs of th city in som spcific days rsulting non-availability of s and motorcycl on som particular rout. Evn long distanc to th narst station or unavailability of som accss mod maks it difficult to avail som crtain lin haul mods to som usrs. Charisma and Annsha (2010) introducd a probabilistic choic st of mods to account for th absnc of actual mod choic st data in Dhaka and dvlopd a modl to prdict th choic st probabilistically for th choic contxt of Dhaka using socio conomic charactristics, origin dstination and trip purpos. In cas of dvlopd countris th ntwork data provids a rasonabl basis for prdicting th choic sts for mod slction. But, in cas of dvloping countris lik Indonsia th transport ntwork data is not wll-structurd. Paratransits (and vn in som cass traditional transits lik

6 buss) oprat byond thir prmittd routs which mak it almost impossibl to prdict th accssibility of diffrnt mods into diffrnt zons. Morovr, in dvloping countris th affordability of popl plays a vital rol in dtrmining th choic st, both for businss and non businss trips. Th numbr of usrs pr is gnrally vry high and ownrship alon is oftn not a suitabl proxy for availability. For instanc, if thr ar fiv mmbrs and a singl in th houshold, som houshold mmbrs may gt priority ovr othrs for th usag (.g. school going childrn, ldrly popl, tc.) Or, for a sam prson who is using in on day of th wk may not b avail that in anothr day for th sam purpos. So, it s ncssary to invstigat attitud of th commutrs in rspons to th availability of diffrnt mods in futur. On th othr hand choic of accss mod is strongly dpndnt on th availability of main mod and grss mod. This is ncssary to dtrmin th most prfrrd combinations of accss and grss mod with th main mod for fficintly manag th futur Dmand. 4. DATA COLLECTION (1) Statd Prfrnc Survy in Surabaya City: Th nw considration hr in this papr is that th statd prfrnc survy dsign considrd influnc of travl mod availability. In ordr to control th numbr of motorcycls in congstd roads, th scnario has bn dsignd as motorcycl will not b usd in th main roads and can b usd as only accss mod of transport which can b parkd nar BRT station paying a crtain parking charg and can b usd as an accss mod. In SP xprimnt, availability of accss, grss and main mods ar assumd to b on of th attributs affcting mod choic bhavior, as wll as th lvl-of-srvic variabls. Th assumd main mod altrnativs ar passngr s, buss, kot, and BRT.

Bsids, ag has significant ngativ ffct on mod choic. Th youngr popl ar mor attractd to for work trip which clarly dfins that will b having mor utility to th futur gnration in Surabaya City. Lik all th dvloping citis it has bn found that highr houshold incom will significantly incras th utility of fastr mod of transport lik BRT and privat. alu of paramtrs for incom shows that houshold incom incras will incras th utility of privat s mor than BRT which has bn shown in th subsqunt figurs in dtails. (2) Accss Mod Choic Main mod choic was found to hav profound ffct on accss mod choic with mor than 99 prcnt lvl of significanc. Tabl 4shows how utility of MC, walking and kot dpnds on th mod choic of bus and BRT as main mod. By comparing th paramtrs of main mod choic with th accss mod w can find that BRT as main mod contributs to utility on walking mor than MC and kot. Also, bus choic as main mod has significant influnc on choosing walking and motorcycl as th accss mod. Bcak, though sms most unpopular accss mod undr BRT scnario with vry low frquncy of choic by th rspondnts, th modl suggsts that th aging popl ar attractd to us bcak and can still b 12

On can find that lvl of satisfaction ovr th ovrall srvic of bcak and kot is not vry imprssiv and drivrs mannr, scurity from th criminals, traffic safty, punctuality of th mods and travl tim ar th major sourc of concrn which can gratly influnc th futur limitd us of kot and bcak. Bcak which is bcoming xpnsiv day by day and as it is a slowr mod of transport has a vry low choic frquncy as accss mod among th SP rspondnts. According to th modl, both studnts and Govrnmnt mploy ar lss likly to prfr ing with high significanc lvl. Bsids, Surabaya popl hav high motorcycl ownrship, which has a significant positiv ffct on choosing motorcycl as accss mod (with mor than 95 % lvl of significanc) It also indicats that popl of Surabaya ar gradually moving from non-motorizd transports to motorizd transports and Motorcycl can b succssfully usd as accss mod for BRT and bus us. 7.

On th othr hand, bus has highr avrag utility than kot at any lvl of houshold incom and it can compt with kot to gt th mor modal shar. So, unavailability of BRT on any particular rout can draw major trips in to bus ovr kot. So, oprating bus and BRT in th sam rout will not b fasibl and bus can b an immdiat altrnativ to BRT on routs whr BRT is not implmntd.

CONCLUSION: Bus Rapid Transit systm got th highst utility and avrag choic probability among th public transport mods, sinc it mbodis th charactristics of a mod that urban travlrs considr fast, comfortabl, convnint and accssibl, not withstanding its highly subsidizd far systm. Hnc, it is thrfor important for th govrnmnt to focus its attntion to th provision of BRT systm in Surabaya. And also for succssful implmntation of BRT it is ncssary to prdict th actual dmand which might gnrat du to introduction of BRT undr prdfind attributs. Undr BRT systm accss mod choic will b dpndnt on main mod choic and unlss good walking facilitis ar providd thr can b major shift in motorizd accss mod in futur. ing Facilitis should b improvd in th Surabaya City which can rduc th us of privat motorizd vhicls in Surabaya city as an accss mod and can also stimulat public transit us. Bcak can still b vry ffctiv for ldrly popl for accss mod choic and sufficint road safty and scurity masur should b providd for its ffctiv us. And also undr BRT systm thr should b park and rid systm for motorcycl so that commutrs can us this as a fastr accss mod. Travl tim and travl cost rduction of both kot and bus can b a solution for its xistnc in Surabaya City. In futur, kot ownrs should hav to mak it fastr and safr from th criminal activitis and it should b mor customrs orintd. This papr xplors th factors which can affct th utility of BRT in futur. arious availability options can b proprly tstd through this modl th outcom of th study can b usd in dmand 18 prdictions as for chs in th variabls both for accss mod and main mod; for instanc travl tim and various scnarios of mod availability. Th proposd modl can b usd in Surabaya mtropolitan rgion to dsign and implmnt mor ffctiv and appropriat transportation solutions for rliving congstion undr a sustainabl transportation horizon.
